Thank you!<br><br>In fact (and Chris can back me up on this) in the Aleutian's, there are plenty of reminders of those attacks, including an airfield built and still in use today. Granted, we were just "a territory" at the time, but we did belong to the US. Fact is, Alaska is a main outpost for the US even today - Elmendorf and Eielson routinely have scrambles and growing up, I remember subs being spotted in the different ports from time-to-time and I remember "live" bombs being found all over the place....still are every now-and-again, from what I hear.<br><br>In fact, I remember my parents telling me that Seattle had a foreign sub come in, take a look around and then leave during the '60's. Anyone else remember that?<br><br>J :]<br><br><br><blockquote><hr>From: editor@lataheagle.com<br>To: idahotom@hotmail.com; lfalen@turbonet.com; sunilramalingam@hotmail.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:21:57 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] How Could Anyone Support That Woman?<br><br>

<div><br></div>Roger Falen stated:<br> <br>"There has not been any other
9/11 types of attacks on us. There has been several attempts, but they have
thwarted."<br> <br>In a very, VERY minor way it is comforting to know
that nobody has launched an attack on US soil since September 11, 2001 (6
years, 4 months, and 18 days ago).<br> <br>Yet another way to look at
9/11/2001 is that it was the first attack on US soil since December 7, 1941
(59 years, 9 months, 4 days prior to 9/11). <br> <br>Roger goes on
to suggest that tax cuts will stimulate the economy. <br> <br>Note
to Roger: This is the first war in our history where the president is
pushing for tax cuts. "Tax cuts during war" is oxy-moronic. You
say that we should provide for our troops (I am with you there 100%), then you
go on to say:<br> <br>"Tax cuts would stimulate the economy and the
increase in total income will more than make up for revenue that is lost by a
tax cut."<br> <br>Question, Roger: How are tax cuts going to "give
them all the support we can in the field and continue to take care of the
veterans when they come home"?<br> <br>Tom Hansen<br>Moscow, Idaho<br>
